You're not alone. This glitch hit me and every iDevice player I know.
The normal fixes work, but not even half the time.
Create a separate brown house for just the skeleton generating characters (outside the tap radius of the first).
Close app completely before launching.
Visit krustyland before tapping.
Clear as many holiday tap items as possible as often as possible, and try and have houses clear before hand.
Do all this and it works maybe 33% of the time.
I know this glitch broke the event for many people before the end of week 2.
I know this method is tedious and not completely effective.
Be warned: I've watched skeletons disappear before I could tap them with this method.
If wadebear's advice doesn't work for you (it does the trick a lot of the time! ) ... Then go look in the "skeletons available at my town' thread. I have ten skeleton towns ... They're listed in the fifth post in that thread. (And a really important rule about deleting them after you get your skeletons! )
I check them for new invites frequently (but not constantly) so send invites to as many towns as you need to get your 30.
I've been following wadebear's tip about NOT tapping the Star Spawns and letting them fill up the town before releasing the kids from the brown house. It's worked every time so far. I get all the skeletons I'm expecting. They just take several minutes to show up unlike the zombies and bunnies that show up immediately.
Send Bart and database to separate brown house than the rest. When done tap ONLY that house. Open shoekeeper task menu tapping icon in top right corner. Tap "Do it" and presto you will be taken to 4 skeletons. Repeat as needed. I finished the quest this morning
Went to brown house, set kids to spawn skeletons, 4 hour wait, made sure town was totally devoid of spawn before I tapped the brown house, number of skeletons = ZERO
for some reason all of a sudden i had at least 30 skeletons in my town.....something i had not seen in weeks...ty.......
NOW....is there anyway you can you fix the M'nthster to return to the sunken temple.......
IF YOU CANT
THERE IS NOW WAY WE CAN GET THE LAST FREE 20 DONUTS IN THE SHOP KEEPERS CHALLENGE
PLEASE...THIS IS SOMETHING MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH ....JUST AS MANY PEOPLE THAT WERE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE SKELETONS ARE ALSO HAVING TROUBLE WITH THIS....

How about immediately after tapping out the kids, but before tapping anything else?
Maybe force quit the game before tapping out the kids.
That's all I can think of right now.
